Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps the Government is taking to support the International Criminal Court with its investigation into possible Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

The UK is providing the International Criminal Court (ICC) with a comprehensive package of assistance which includes a financial contribution of £1 million from the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund, and technical expertise from UK military, police and legal experts.

The Metropolitan Police has launched a public appeal to identify those who may have evidence or be witnesses to war crimes, and it has been collecting and preserving evidence relating to war crimes in Ukraine in support of international investigations.

We are also working with our international partners to ensure that any war crimes committed in Ukraine are investigated rapidly, and that those responsible are prosecuted and held accountable.
